>>123274728In a broad sense, boys aren't really wired to see girls in a neutral manner, they are either categorized as "Fuckable" or "Non Fuckable" regardless of what your actual relationship to them as individuals is.
I for one have had many platonic female co-workers over the years that I've never once tried to court or hit on, because they're really only friends and that's fine. But I'll be damned if I haven't thought about getting them all in bed at least once or twice. In the strictest sense, it's "nothing personal", you just see an attractive woman and you instinctively will have naughty thoughts. Mulan is an admirable and fully realized character that I'd be happy to be friends with, and my primal instinct to give her the full nelson doesn't diminish that.
